More Edible Art

If you have visited my gardening blog, Ann's Air Gardens, you will know that our living salad bar is chief among my new interests.  We put roasted sunflower seeds, fresh grated black pepper and a dab of Bleu Cheese Dressing on this salad, but I decided to take a picture first:

 

Clockwise, the greens are chicory, purslane, and Kojisan Hybrid Kamatsuna, with three lively sprigs of tender young Magenta Spreen (Lambsquarters) in the center.

I've started growing purslane in my flower garden.... The colors are awesome!

I love purslane to death, whether it is a handful or just a sprig as shown tossed onto a salad plate or a whole bunch simmered in a pot of beans, but outdoors it can become quite invasive. It also has beautiful flowers, much like its edible but not as tasty cousin the Moss-Rose (Portulaca).

Thanks much for visiting my blog. I took a look at yours, too :-)
